Well you are starting to make life complex as with Aperture you can manage the images as well process them.
If you start to use multiple RAW processors then in my opinion you need to ask yourself.
1. Why are you doing this if your current/previous workflow worked for you.
2. You need to decide which RAW processor is your primary one and try to process as much through that as possible. The other RAW processors are for those images that dont work in your primary processor.

I consider that RAW processors are like chemical developers.  Not every film (image) and every set of lighting conditions works well with the same developer concentration/time/temperature combination.  This is why many B&W photographers used different developers and different temperatures and times in each developer to get the right 'accutance'.



I use AfterShot Pro (ASP)(previously Bibble Pro) and Capture Pro v7.1.6 (CP) as my main processors. I use two RAW processors as I cannot process Fuji XTrans RAW files through AfterShot Pro. I am tending towards CP as I use my Fuji cameras more than my Nikons these days but I have 12 years experience with Bibble/ASP so I find that really easy to use.

I also have PhotoNinja, LightZone and Aperture.
I use Lightroom5 for all my image cataloguing but very occasionally my image editing but I dont find the interface good for me.
I do ALL my photo editing (except simple spot healing/cloning which I do in ASP or CP) in Photoshop CS6 as I feel I know it best but I find the ACR interface processing very slow compared to ASP.
